As mid-day continues with its ‘Know Your Wards’ series, we now focus on the ‘C’ administrative ward, which borders the Arabian Sea, forming a part of Mumbai’s western coastline.
The D ward, is considered a VIP ward in Mumbai being home to the governor of Maharashtra’s residence Raj Bhavan, and the official residences of the chief minister, deputy chief minister, and various leaders of the Maharashtra legislature. The ward is also home to the iconic Hanging Gardens in Malabar Hill, and yet another iconic open space fondly associated with India’s freedom struggle — the August Kranti Maidan, from where Mahatma Gandhi kick-started the Quit India Movement in 1942.
